This article describes a climate change and hydrological impact assessment for several basins in Georgia. First, a new statistical technique, Joint Variable Spatial Downscaling (JVSD), is developed to produce high resolution gridded hydrological datasets for the Southeast US from 13 different Global Circulation Models (GCMs). A lumped conceptual watershed model (Georgakakos et al., 2010) is the...

We have characterized the pharmacological antagonism, i.e., neutral antagonism or inverse agonism, displayed by a number of a-blockers at two a1-adrenergic receptor (AR) subtypes, a1aand a1b-AR. Constitutively activating mutations were introduced into the a1a-AR at the position homologous to A293 of the a1b-AR where activating mutations were previously described. Twenty-four a-blockers differin...

In the future, the Baltic Sea ecosystem will be impacted both by climate change and by riverine and atmospheric nutrient inputs. Multi-model ensemble simulations comprising one IPCC scenario (A1B), two global climate models, two regional climate models, and three Baltic Sea ecosystem models were performed to elucidate the combined effect of climate change and changes in nutrient inputs. This st...

Winter storm-track activity over the Northern Hemisphere and its changes in a greenhouse gas scenario (the Special Report on Emission Scenarios A1B forcing) are computed from an ensemble of 23 single runs from 16 coupled global climate models (CGCMs). All models reproduce the general structures of the observed climatological storm-track pattern under present-day forcing conditions. Ensemble mea...

This study is intended to examine the past drought and predict future drought scenarios for Arkansas-Red River Basin with comprehensive drought indices ranging from meteorology, hydrometeorology to hydrology. In this proceeding, we present some early results and analysis with the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). Historical climate data within ...

global warming caused by human activity and climate change is one of the issues attracted that has attention of many climate scientists. the relationship between climate parameters should be used in climate change studies to understand the complex nature of the environment and predict changes in the future. the reliable tool to investigate climate change effects on different systems is using th...

1. introduction climatic change is one of the most important challenges human beings have confronted with in recent centuries due to its severe effects on water resources, agriculture, energy, tourism and even human bioclimatic. developing strategies, making decisions with awareness about water consumption in different parts in the future, and available water resources management require climat...
